Who It’s For

An old insert or an open fireplace can leave a mid-size room either chilly or scorching. Heat should match the space. You need an efficient insert sized for a living room and the rooms around it. If that is your home, the Forge & Flame P42i-TC 20-inch, powered by Harman technology, fits it well. Choose it and you get even warmth without paying to heat space you do not use.

What Makes It Special

It is one of the more efficient inserts in this lineup, with a 79% rating on the higher heating value, so more of each bag ends up as heat in your room.

The face is cast iron, and the standard steel surround comes with it. A wireless room sensor and touch control hold your temperature. When it needs service, the insert slides out on a track, and the lit glass hopper lid shows how many pellets are left.

Possible Downsides

• It comes in Matte Black only. For a second finish, look at the Accentra52i-TC.
• It runs one blower; the Accentra52i-TC has two.
• The ceramic log is an extra.

If you want efficient pellet heat for a small to medium home from your fireplace, the Forge & Flame P42i-TC 20-inch is the right decision. The living room holds an even warmth from the first cold night to the last.

Add a ceramic log with its bracket, a surround extension or custom surround, a flue rough-in support kit, a service rail kit, an outside temperature kit, or zero-clearance kits.
